ehlo,

I noticed failure[1] when I was packaging libldb-1.2.0 to fedora
which was required for samba-4.7.0rc1. And I was quite lucky that
it failed at least for i386 :-)

I did not noticed it with 1.1.31 because unit tests were not executed as part
of build due to other issues.

Subject: [PATCH] ldb: Fix index out of bound in ldb_msg_find_common_values

cmocka unit test failed on i386
[==========] Running 2 test(s).
[ RUN      ] test_ldb_msg_find_duplicate_val
[       OK ] test_ldb_msg_find_duplicate_val
[ RUN      ] test_ldb_msg_find_common_values
[  FAILED  ] test_ldb_msg_find_common_values
[==========] 2 test(s) run.
[  ERROR   ] --- 0x14 != 0
[   LINE   ] --- ../tests/ldb_msg.c:266: error: Failure!
[  PASSED  ] 1 test(s).
[  FAILED  ] 1 test(s), listed below:
[  FAILED  ] test_ldb_msg_find_common_values
 1 FAILED TEST(S)

But we were just lucky on other platforms because there is
index out of bound according to valgrind error.
